The Israeli army conducted a series of airstrikes in the southern suburbs of Beirut overnight, targeting at least three locations. The strikes came after warnings were issued for residents to evacuate the area, heightening tensions in the region.
The airstrikes occurred following escalating tensions between Israel and Lebanon, with reports of rocket fire exchanged between the two sides. The Lebanese military condemned the Israeli actions, calling them a violation of the country’s sovereignty.
The targeted areas in Beirut’s southern suburbs were left with significant damage, with buildings reduced to rubble and emergency services rushing to the scene to assess the aftermath of the strikes.
The airstrikes have once again raised concerns about the fragile security situation in the region and the potential for further escalation of violence. The United Nations and other international bodies have called for restraint and a de-escalation of tensions to prevent further civilian casualties and damage.
The situation remains fluid, with both sides on high alert and tensions running high. The international community is closely monitoring the situation and urging all parties to exercise restraint and work towards a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
